Definitions
Stakeholders are : persons, groups or institutions with interests in a project or programs. Primary stakeholders are those ultimately affected, either positively (beneficiaries) or negatively (for example, those involuntarily resettled). Secondary stakeholders are the intermediaries in the aid delivery process. This definition of stakeholders includes both winners and losers, and those involved or excluded from decision-making processes. Key stakeholders are those who can significantly influence, or are important to the success of the project
